NFT: Netflix : Untold "Crime & Penalties"

A great Hockey documentary portraying the unbelievable but true rise and fall of the UHL Danbury Trashers. Well worth a watch. Anyone else catch this?
I watched it

it was pretty interesting. I did not remember any of it when it happened.

It is a fascinating story, but glad that team folded and is gone. It is the stereotype of hockey that many people believe is reality.
It's a very well known...

Story around here. Lol
It is a facinating story,

and I too had no knowledge of it happening back in the day. I agree that the stereotype and old Philly Flyers style has no place in Hockey.

Did Netflix do the story justice?
I watched it, it was great

I'm surprised I haven't heard of this considering Rupp played on that team and while not a star he was a legit NHLer, plus he played on the Rangers.

I'm really not a hockey guy, but know the story as it got a lot f play around here in the papers. But one of my long-time, best friends' family owns the biggest hockey store in the region, and is well aquatinted with the rink and story. He said the doc was well done, and covered much of what he knew, but also left out some stuff he knew about, as expected, but he thought the doc was good, and covered it pretty well.
Haven't seen the show and I don't know anything about this team  
Greg from LI : 9/16/2021 1:55 pm : link
but the UHL was such a goon league. Made the ECHL seem tame in comparison. Well, the ECHL other than the 1995-96 Renegades, anyway.
I saw the promo

I think I'll pass on this one, much better content on Netflix than something like a goon hockey team.
FWIW it's not all "Goon Hockey"

This documentary delves into the Organized Crime and FBI involvement with the Trashers as well
I really enjoyed it.

Some of the content actually felt like I was watching a fictional movie. I went to school with a few people associated with the main characters. Although I haven’t seen or heard from any of them in decades perhaps this is why I found it such a good watch. It was only about a hour twenty long and want to watch it again.
